Speaking after attending the Gen MARA Kami Assembly at the WTC Merdeka Hall, Zahid said he was encouraged to see thousands of alumni, MARA citizens, and members of the ANSARA Malaysia network gathering in solidarity.
“The spirit of Gen MARA is extraordinary. The sense of togetherness and shared identity among the community is clearly strong,” he said.
Zahid also participated in the “Unplugged ANSARA” session alongside ANSARA President Taufiq Hussien, where discussions focused on strengthening governance, advancing the education agenda, and enhancing entrepreneurial empowerment within Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA).
